The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Pretty good. Met with the principal at the local elementary school to see how we could support her and the students. I belong to a service organization called la Sertoma and our mission statement has to do with literacy and education. I'm the new president and I'm putting some new stuff in place. So far on the first day of school like set up day we're bringing breakfast and I got some new gifts for two new teachers and we're going to have a raffle for the other teachers to win something, we're going to have them come to our Festival to set up to do a back to school event. Provide haircuts, bookings, school supplies and a couple other things, help parents fill out forms for people that are not filling them out correctly or at all we're going to give them assistance. I have somebody willing to donate books to their book drives because that's a reward for the kids. They just had all of their picnic tables at the school vandalized by some jackass jumped on top of them and broke them all they're like the shape of a v. So I'm trying to work with somebody to get a couple new picnic tables. Just using some of my resources to try to fill in the gaps. So overall a good day we were there too long but people get chatty. Now I'm back at home filling out my self-assessment for my review. And I even got some puppy dog snuggles from Sven the German Shepherd puppy next door. He heard me drive up and came running. I'm pretty sure I may be his best friend. He has this new thing now where he grabs my hand with his mouth and leads me places. It's very funny. How is your day going?
Well done to you. The more we put into our respective youngsters the more chance they will turn out decent human beings. I love helping kids develop. I taught martial arts for so long and missed teaching kids when I moved here. Now I get to teach them to tie trout flies and fish. Two end# of the same spectrum. Helping kids!

I applaud your efforts. Maybe it all work out better than planned.


Daisy the Lba Girl does similarly with my hand, but she doesn't take it. It usually hurts a bit because she's usually bouncing when she does it, but then I'm going with her anyway.


Interview is postponed until tomorrow, the grass is cut, and I started Chapter One of a book idea. It's an easy one, so I may actually finish this one.


For a fawkin' change . . . .
 
There is/was a paperwork glitch in getting my new old rifle shipped out. It seems sometimes that doing things legally and "the right way" really adds to the pain-in-the-ass factor. No matter. I used an old construction management thing I learned back when we were finishing up the last pyramid: put the fuckers together and make them sort out their own shit. All I could be is the middleman, and I ain't a'doin' that shit no mo'. The guy who "needs stuff" emailed back that he'd "take care of it." My guess is, he's also the vender and he's the one who gets the review. Odds are, he doesn't want a shitty one. Wat is capable of writing a couple of chapters if you perturb his ass. Likewise if you solve shit and git 'er dunn.


Asshats All Around, as Applicable . . . .
Critique, and accolades.

If you met some of the parents in my village you would understand why the kids are messed up. Parents who won't fill out the free school lunch paperwork and send their adhd kid to school with pop tarts and older kid who came to the elementary school to "have fun" and jumped on and broke all the picnic tables....
 
But dude. Just plan for the future.

I hope it never happens, but we may not all be as mobile as we once were.

I like the IDEA of tiny houses. Where would I put my gun collection, my bottle collection, my bowling pin collection, all my signs, all my old rusty industrial parts, my tools? (Wonderer goes on, muttering for about 30 more minutes….)
One has to be a serious minimalist to be able to live in a tiny house. I'm not one... 😅😆
 
Exactly!!! We as 'Murrikanz have entirely too much shit. I have been downsizing for several years. I don't have the clothes I did have, but I probably still have too many. Thing is, I see a shirt I like, I buy all 4 colors. I gotta cut that shit out. So that and mostly the firearms and bullion is why a tiny house won't work. So it wants to be a well-planned house with good air control. It's surprising to me how many new houses aren't designed with using open windows in mind. I love fresh air. I also love humidity control and well ventilated bathrooms. So, 2x6 walls with foam insulation and well sealed construction is a start. ADA access is a necessity, inside and out.
Have you looked into alternative construction methods? I recently read articles on bag-built and tire-built homes. The bag houses are made with bags full of dirt. Tire houses are those made with old tires, also filled with dirt. HUGE R-values on both!
 
THat was it. He sat and extended a hand as she looked at him. So she went to investigate and he spoke. Deciding he is okay, she continued, and he picked her up and she settled into his lap as they continued to converse.


I could have been on the moon for all either of them cared.


He's a cat guy, so he knows.
I'm more of a dog person but I do like cats. They can sense when a person likes them.
 
Another busy day planned in corporate Zombieland.

730 meeting, so I’m up a little earlier than normal. Bad dreams around 4 didn’t help. Working thru it with a workout (and catching up on lit… Jesus this thread moves at the speed of light)

Mowing the front lawn tonight after dinner.

Going to get warmer, and we’re planning our annual visit to the nude beach in New Jersey next week.

God how I love Mrs. Wonderer!! Over the weekend I got a flat tire on my tractor. I was going to fix it this coming weekend, it’s an old-school tubed tire. It could be an original tire , but I just hate taking the tire off the bead, removing the innertube, looking for and sanding any sharp rust spots on the rim… putting on the new innertube and aligning it just right, getting the tractor tire back on the bead… it’s a fucking process…

I am not known for my patience!!

Mrs wonderer, removed the tire yesterday, took it down to a local tractor place. Saved me a couple of hours of swearing and cussing. All for only $60.

I’ll take that deal any day of the week!! She’s a fuckin keeper treasure!!!
❤️❤️❤️
I love how much you adore your wife, W! 🥰🥰
